I don't like people that resort to ridicule to make their point.  And Penn and Teller (like Bill Maher) stoop to this.  Example:  How does the apartment a person lives in or whether somone shouts insults out their car window affect the message you are trying to get across.  P&T like to call those that don't buy the official 9/11 conspiracy theory "stupid and crazy."  Of course they won't present someone like Richard Gage or if they do -- ridicule because he has thinning hair or because he has spent most of his life doing work instaed of polishing is on screen personna.

This video was from the 2008 election. I saw it back then, and I checked the 2011 focus group video without finding that same guy in it. Still, I fully suspect that Luntz cherry-picked the members of his group. My best guess so far is that he's trying to pick the most tolerable of this "second tier" group of candidates -- the Federal Reserve guy -- as insurance against the possibility that the "first tier" candidates somehow don't make it.
